I have been in remodeling business for over 13 years, I specialize in Kitchen, Bathrooms, Basements remodeling also we did room additions, there is 3 of us working in my crew all of this guys were with me for loong time now we finishing project and it don't look like that General will have more work coming:( I ave all tools needed to do any interior or exterior remodeling plus dump trailer to get rid of garbage everyday from job side! Past this 13y I only work for 2 Generals, one for over 7y and he went out of business (divorce) and company that i'm working right now looks like they don't have projects coming up:( we have been working all over chicago areas even we did job in Michigan so i'm willing to drive extra mile to work!
If anyone has more questions I'll be more than happy to answer.

Wardog I will be the 1st to tell you. The chance of you getting a job of CT is slim. I have been on painttalk for about 2 years now. I haven't gotten 1 job from it yet. I have been called 2 times one I have a meeting coming up next week. It takes building relationships and building trust here and out there. What you can find here is what you can do to fire your business up. You just got to sift through all the BS. Your starting to sound like a desperate fool on craigslist. Rise above that.
